With so much to do, so much to see, so much to eat, the State Fair of Texas can be overwhelming to even the most veteran fair goers. Here are a few tips on how you can find the best the State Fair has to offer without breaking the bank.
With so much to do, so much to see, so much to eat, it can be overwhelming to even the most veteran fair goers. "First thing you need to do once you get in the gates is head to Big Tex Circle. It is a rite of passage to have your annual photo with our 55-foot talking cowboy, Big Tex," said Karissa Condoianis, the VP of Public Relations for the State Fair of Texas.
"A little insider tip: when you wrap up your fair day, keep those coupons, because you can save them and bring them back the following year. I can tell you that really paid off for our fairgoers a few years ago, because the denomination of the coupons changed from 50 cents to one dollar. They all got to bring their coupons back, and they now doubled their money," said Condoianis.
If you do bring things from home there are some things you need to know. Alcohol and glass are not allowed."Historically, weekends are busier. Now, I’m going to share a secret with y’all. We actually build as the fair goes on. A lot of people think that opening weekend is our busiest weekend. However, that’s not the case. That’s actually the slowest weekend," said Condoianis. "Attendance will build as each weekend goes on, and people realize we’re closing soon.
"When it comes to food, Fletcher's corny dogs are widely known to be at the State Fair of Texas, and they are the best corny dogs you will ever have. In addition, funnel cakes. Funnel cakes were brought to the Fair many, many decades ago. Then, of course, turkey legs. Who doesn’t love a good turkey leg and especially as we are hitting a cooler time of year, it’s easy to walk around the fair and enjoy," Condoianis said.
